A review of the 2010 BMW X1 xDrive20d has been posted over at Car Advice. 'It's the cheapest BMW SUV you can buy. Starting at just $43,500, BMW's newest car, the X1, is extremely competitively priced, and on paper, competitvely specced as well. There's rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive versions, with four different engines available. BMW's entry level X1, the sDrive18i hasn't arrived in the country yet, so we decided to test the lowest price X1 we could get our hands on, the xDrive20d. There is a problem with the X1, and it's not so much a fault of the car, but rather charged-couple devices and curved glass - it looks awkward in photos, but fabulous in the metal. Indeed the angry snout combined with four lovely creases on the bonnet draw your eye to the front end, and with frosted glass-styled eyelids over the headlights, it even has character.'
